Inconsistent Information About Aquarium Care

Why Doesn't Everyone Give the Same Answer?

(The First Tank Guide)

Why do I get different answers to the same question from pet store
to pet store and from web site to web site?

Often you will get different answers about caring for your fish and
your fish tank from different people. This is because fish keeping is
more art than science. Yes, science does play a role in the process,
but paying attention to the needs of YOUR fish and
YOUR tank will give you the best results.

Since different people have had different experiences with their
fish tanks and what has or has not worked, they are likely to give
different answers to questions, even when the question is worded the
same way. Also, each fish and even more so, each fish tank, is an
individual system, and each will have its own idiosyncrasies and
variations. While some generalizations do apply across the board to
all aquariums, not all do.

"I hope to see your website staying around for a long time in coming years to help fishkeepers not fall into misinformation. The internet needs authentic sources of information such as yours to remain valuable source of information."
